Abstract

Let U be a Haar distributed unitary matrix in U(n)or O(n). We show that after centering the double index process W(n)(s,t)=ins,jntUij2 W^{(n)} (s,t) = \sum_{i \leq \lfloor ns \rfloor, j \leq \lfloor nt\rfloor} |U_{ij}|^2 converges in distribution to the bivariate tied-down Brownian bridge. The proof relies on the notion of second order freeness.
